TZOTZIL
TZOTZIL
BAND / 1983
Jeff met Jeff Moody while he had been a drummer for Berry Lane. Prior to that, Moody had been a drummer for Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson.
After considering calling themselves Jeff & Jeff, they settled on the name Tzotzil taken from an indigenous South American race.
Tzotzil did a few live performances, mostly around the South-East of England, notably a theatrical showcase at Radclythe Manor in Buckinghamshire. A song written by Jeff called The Tzotzil was intended to be the duo's debut single, with a Spanish lyric version El Tzotzil on the flip side. Jeff's solo versions found their way on to his debut 1984 album Circus.
Jeff Kristian (Vocals/Keyboards), Jeff Moody (Percussion/Drums/Keyboards).

Tzotzil Radio Interview / 14th June 1983
In 1983, Jeff and Jeff Moody had an interview on Gateway Radio in Basildon, Essex, talking about their career, creative process and ambitions for the future.
"Being creative with another person is really good and great fun, to be able to bounce ideas off each other is quite a magical experience. Together we seem to click and everything just falls into place."
